A bomb squad has been called in to investigate an unattended backpack found in the street during a pro-Trump rally outside the Walter Reed military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, where US president is being treated for Covid-19.
Police cordoned off the area and shut down a section of Rockville Pike, diverting traffic and pushing Trump supporters away, after the suspicious bag was discovered in the area near the entrance to the medical facility on Saturday night.
